Book Synopsis
A daughter creates a coherent narrative out of fragments of her mother's writings about her extraordinary life in twentieth-century Holland and Canada.

Trade Review
"Brandis blends careful research on the period, affectionate puzzlement over the dichotomy of her mother's inner and outer life, and awareness of the stresses felt by any woman trying to find a channel for self-expression." Elizabeth Waterston, professor emeritus, University of Guelph and author of Rapt in Plaid: Canadian Literature and Scottish Tradition and The Travellers: Canada to 1900
